I see you. I feel you. I hear you.All of you resilient lifting me up. [Music] [Applause] Movement and voice allowed me to resist, to speak, to thrive.

[Music] [Music] [Applause] What if I told you that every limitation you have ever felt in your life is just a construct of your mind. that you're just limited in your mind based upon social limitations, historical limitations and your personal biases. That in reality there are no limitations.There was a time that people were not allowed to vote based upon their color, based upon their color and their gender. That changed not because law changed.
